Underwear Bombing

Full article: Underwear bombing

Kurt and Lori Haskell stated that they saw Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab board the flight from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport without a passport, after the intervention of a wealthy looking Indian man in his 50s. In response, Dutch authorities claimed that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab did have a passport, in contrast to other witnesses.[4][5]

The security at Schipol was alleged to have been the responsibility of ICTS International‎.[6][7]

Underwear bombing“Well, what I saw specifically was the two men go to the ticket agent counter together. Only the Indian man spoke and what the Indian man said was this man needs to board the plane and he doesn't have a passport. And the ticket agent then responded, well, you need a passport to board the plane. And the Indian man said, well, he's from Sudan and we do this all the time.”
